Kristie & Caleb – Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

Allow me to introduce Kristie and Caleb to the blog.  They are such a fun cute couple…just so genuine.  I really love engagement sessions as they really help me get to know my clients before the wedding day.  The setting is relaxed and we just have fun.  Well, K+C could not have picked a better day for their session.  With nice Minnesota weather dwindling, we really lucked out and enjoyed a sunny November day.  We thought it might be fun to shoot in downtown Minneapolis on Nicollet Mall.  I assumed that since it was a Saturday that downtown would be essentially a ghost town and make for some great photos.  I was very wrong as the streets were buzzing with people.  Funny sidenote…Kristie told me before the shoot that she was nervous to “hug and kiss” in front of people.  Well, I definitely helped her get over that fear as she was forced to “hug and kiss” Caleb among tons of people.  We had a great time and I’m so happy with the results!  Enjoy!!  K+C…can’t wait till January (for your wedding…not the cold;))

Lillemoe Family – Minneapolis Family Photographer

I’ve been so excited to feature this family on the blog.  After booking Amanda & Tait’s wedding, Deanna (Tait’s Sister-in-law) contacted me about doing family pictures.  This was a great opportunity because these two adorable kids seen below are going to be the flower girl and ring bearer for Amanda & Tait’s wedding.  We took these photos on the peak autumn weekend.  The leaves were unbelievable in St Paul.  It took a little bit of time for the kids to warm up to me….but they did.  Thanks so much for the fun afternoon Lillemoe family!!!  Enjoy!!!
